 Visit 1- Doctor

We all really enjoyed this visit as Doctor Laura bought in lots of things that we had a chance to use. We could all pretend we were doctors too!

This visitor told us all about the different people that work in a hospital. He even did a little interview with one of our pupils.

 Visit 3- Barrister

We all got to put on our thinking caps and decide what a judge might decide after hearing a barrister’s statements.
